Usually he enjoys his first visit to a new city, takes his time as he is driving to his hotel, checks out the feel of the city, what there is to see just driving through. That would have to wait this time though; his thoughts were on the restaurant he had just spotted ahead, the hour delay taking off, and the likelihood he was too late.
He missed the turnoff into the restaurant, further worsening his mood. He made a u-turn at the next intersection, hoping they weren't illegal in this town, although not really caring at this moment. He turned into the restaurant rather too quickly, typically trying to make up seconds when already an hour late.
He waved an anemic apology to the older couple leaving the restaurant that he had just terrified with his erratic driving and searched for another long moment for a parking place. Someone else managed to get the spot the older couple vacated, he almost felt like he deserved that. Finally he found an empty spot and pulled into it.
He rushed into the restaurant lobby and to his surprise saw her sitting there. Relief began to pour over him as he ran to where she was sitting and he crouched down in front of her.
"I am so sorry, the flight was delayed for an hour, it took forever getting my rental car, I missed the stupid turn, I almost ran over this older couple,? the words were pouring out of him.
Then he finally looked up into her eyes, and saw her smiling down at him, and the dam closed on the words.
She reached out and touched his cheek. "It's ok, I made sure I checked on your flight before I came over, I haven't been here long. And it's nice to meet you too."
"Oh gosh," he stammered as he got back to his feet, "I'm making quite a first impression aren't I." He heard her laugh softly as she also got to her feet. He took her hand and raised it to his lips, kissing it softly. Looking down into her pretty eyes, "It is very nice to finally meet you milady."
She smiled at him warmly, "It's nice to finally meet you too. I have a table for us, is that ok?"
"Of course", he offered her his arm and she took it as they made their way to the hostess.

They talked as easily as they always did online. During the hour they had eaten dinner they had discussed childhoods, families, favorite restaurants and covered a bit of online gossip. After the strained introduction things had quickly smoothed out. She had caught him staring at her lovely eyes, long pretty brunette hair and gorgeous smile but had simply smiled each time their eyes had met. The hour had gone by far too quickly.
"Do you have some more time, can we talk some more?" he asked.
"I'd like that," she said, "but it's too noisy here, can we find someplace a bit more quiet?"

He opened the passenger side door of her car and climbed inside. Already inside, she looked over at him expectantly.
"I'm sorry, this is your town, and I?ve never been here. You're going to have to be the one to decide where we are going." Their eyes met, she was smiling at him. There was a lot of warmth in her gaze. The look lingered, past the time when both should have become self-conscious.
He began to lean toward her, and she didn't back away. He kept his eyes on hers the entire time, looking for any sign she didn't want what was happening, and then he felt her soft lips against his and they kissed for the first time. His hand slid to the right side of her throat, touching her cheek as they kissed. He could feel her breath on his face as the kiss continued. He slowly pulled back, feeling their lips slowly separate, both breathing heavily.
He pulled back just far enough to be able to look fully at her pretty face. His hand still softly caressed her cheek. "You are so beautiful," he whispered.
Her eyes lowered for a moment and a slight flush crept into her cheeks. Her eyes raised back up to find his. "You have the warmest, prettiest eyes," she said.
This time it was his turn to blush slightly. "May I kiss you again?" he asked.
"Yes."
He lowered his head slowly towards hers, anticipating the soft touch of her lips against his. As they kissed her mouth opened slightly and his mouth opened against hers. They began a deep sensuous French kiss, his hand slipped behind her neck so that he could pull her towards him a little, deepening the kiss even further.
They both scooted around in their seats, trying to get more comfortable for kissing. Soon he was on his knees in his seat, leaning over into her seat. Just then he noticed someone walking by her car and remembered where they were.
He sat up and in response to her somewhat surprised look managed to breathlessly whisper, "I think we are putting on a bit of a show."
Her blush was far more intense than when he had complimented her. "Perhaps we should find that other place that I was talking about."

She pulled the car into the parking lot of a beautiful tree-filled local park. The parking lot was deserted. The evening was getting late, in less than an hour it would be dark. The moon was very bright this evening though.
Inside the car she turned to look at him. She looked lovely backlit by the moonlight, her dark pretty hair tumbling over her shoulders. It was a bit in disarray from the activities of a few moments ago.
He reached out to touch her cheek again, and she pressed her cheek into his hand. His hand softly caressed her lovely face, his fingers moving gently over her cheeks, across her lips, tracing the outline of her eyes. He ran one finger down her nose, dropping at the end of her nose to her lips. She kissed his finger.
He watched as she unbuckled her seatbelt. She dropped the pumps she was wearing onto the driver's side floor. Sitting on her knees, this time she leaned over into his seat to kiss him.
She kissed him tenderly for a moment then broke the kiss. She stared for a moment deep into his eyes. "I know I don't say it much," she whispered, "but you make me feel absolutely wonderful."
She leaned in to kiss him again, deeply, French kissing again. He had found the release to let the seat go back, but forgot they now had two people leaning against the seat. The seat quickly fell all the way back, pulling him completely away from her as he fell back hard into the seat. She was able to catch herself and started giggling at his startled look.
